It has been a long few years for actress Farrah Fawcett.

Her ordeal started back in 2006, when she received the shocking news that she had the rare disease of anal cancer. Ever since her diagnosis, Fawcett has set out to prove just what she was capable of accomplishing and has been determined to overcome her cancer. Despite the fact that anal cancer is difficult to treat, Fawcett refused to face her struggle passively, waging an impressive and inspiring fight. This attitude even prevailed when her condition relapsed and worsened, with the cancer spreading to her liver.

Even with the perseverance that allowed her to fight hard so far, many experts suggested that recovery was not likely for the “Charlie’s Angels” star, since her cancer had progressed to stage four, which is a considered to be very advanced. So it is perhaps not surprising that the latest reports suggest that Fawcett has been readmitted to the hospital, where she seems to be struggling in a final battle for her life.

According to her publicist, Allen S. Miller, fawcett was given her final rites.

“Farrah, is holding on, and has been given last rites. Her vision, dream, and mission was to give people hope to a cure. That is the message of the video SHE wanted aired. I assure you that we will continue and will live on. Fight the Fight,” wote Miller

“I loving Farrah, is in intensive care and is supported by catholic priests consistent with her faith. I have reports that Farrah has received last rights. It is time now to make contact with your god and say a prayer.”

Though these latest reports seem bleak, they have been countered with news of the personal hope that has made Fawcett’s fight so noteworthy. All along, Fawcett has relied heavily on her friends and family, approaching each step of her battle with her loved ones by her side. It was just this week that her longtime partner Ryan O’Neal announced that the pair plans to wed, a strong sign that the actress has not given up her hope in a miracle.
